Help ensure no one endures pregnancy or infant loss alone.
Last year, at 23 weeks pregnant, doctors discovered that baby had stopped growing. A few devastating days later, on May 6, 2020, I gave birth to the tiniest baby I'd ever seen. He was very small and weak, and sadly he passed during labour. Sweet little Magnus Catt Stoneman was precious in every way. Although he was too small and frail to survive in the world, he will live forever in our hearts.
Pregnancy loss is devastating, however, the resources in the Bridget's Bunnies care package helped tremendously to deal with the grief felt by myself, my husband, and also Magnus’s grandparents, aunts & uncles, cousins, and our close friends.
We are walking to raise awareness of pregnancy and infant loss, and raise money so Bridget's Bunnies can continue to support other families. I hope that with donations to Team Magnus, families impacted by infant and pregnancy loss can get the support they need.
Description
Bridget's Run is a 1km/5km family fun run/walk in recognition of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month and in support of Bridget's Bunnies and our community partners providing bereavement support for families who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss.
Bridget's Bunnies is dedicated to ensuring no family endures pregnancy or infant loss alone. In memory of baby Bridget, who was born still just one day shy of her due date, comfort kits are provided to families in the Barrie and surrounding areas who are experiencing a loss. Kits include comfort items, memory makers and resources of support to provide gentle direction and compassion to help parents in the days that follow loss.
As COVID-19 marches on across the nation we know that families will continue to endure pregnancy and infant loss. As a result these families are left to navigate the ramifications of this traumatic experience in an environment of overwhelming uncertainty and fear.
Your support is needed now more than ever.
